Have you been homeschooling for years? Maybe you’re just now starting at the very beginning. Either way, I hope you’ll find some homeschooling resources and tips that will encourage and help you on your journey!
This year {2019}, I will be starting my tenth year of homeschooling. It’s something I said I would “never ever” do, but God had other plans for my family. Maybe you can relate. You also said “never ever,” but find yourself in the same boat!
Homeschooling Resources & Tips
If you have questions about homeschooling, our Homeschooling Tips & Tricks Series is the place to start!
This series covers things like discovering your child’s learning style, picking the “right” curriculum, and debunking the myths of having kids that are unsocialized. I hope you enjoy going through this series as much as I enjoyed creating it!
Of course, you’ll love the thousands of free printables you can find right here on my blog. These are perfect for homeschoolers. They’ve all been kid-tested here at my house!
You DO NOT have to have a dedicated schoolroom to homeschool, but we do. {There have been years where we’ve used the kitchen table just as much as our schoolroom.}
Here’s our most recent homeschool room tour {from 2020}. I also have a tour of our schoolroom from 2014-2015. If you’re anything like me, you love to have a peek at how others organize and arrange things. This is your chance!
We have several Homeschool Hacks that can save you time or help you get things organized.
Homeschool Lesson Planner
Did yo know that we have an editable homeschool planner just for you? It’s available in BOTH landscape and portrait formats. If you want a peak inside, be sure to check out the preview in my blog’s shop! {This is our 2020-2021 planner pictured below!}
Homeschooling Curriculum
My homeschooling style is eclectic for sure. Each of my kids is unique {as are yours}, so I do not always use the same curricula with each child.
Below are some of the homeschooling resources and curricula that we have used or still use. Of course, my kids also use the things I create and share from my free printables and my shop!
I’m including links to where I’ve purchased these products. Please note: some of these are affiliate links.
Literacy:
- All About Reading
- All About Spelling
- Words their Way and supplementary books
- WriteShop {writing}
- Here to Help Learning {writing}
